The black plague in Europe which decimated the population actually resulted in wealthier and better fed peasants but this is not Europe but Aleasana.The Aleasani used magic to shrink but no druid spells like ehm goodberries or Plant growth? There is also Create Food and Water, Purify Food and Water and Heroes Feast.They probably also brought some advanced agricultural techniques and crops from the old lands if they didn´t forgot all their peasants on the other side. Could be possible that they did but a little bit unlikely.  The whole land of Aleasana is pretty defensible. These are mountain valley with passes that can be controlled easily. The arable land is behind the pass. The humans also got their hands on dvergar and other cities that are heavily fortified. According to the post starvation began after the successful invasion.Cassant for an example doesn´t need to defend their farms one by one. The city itself blocks three major passes into the valley and the gates are from the dvergar age. An invader would need heavy equipment and a major siege to get thru these passes. As the invaders fight for the food, they probably starve in front of the gates or leave.I didn´t wrote about the southern pass or passes but they are probably fortified as well. So three sides are defended easily with a low amount of troops.And why shouldn´t there be some people who are still giants. Some weathered the time other are  perhaps some atavism to the earlier higher frame. I am not suggesting that they are a sizable minority or that all original Asani are racist supremacists.The fact that there are still Aleasani with greater height and longer life doesn´t add any credibility to their claims. They are still a bunch of wicked bastards.There is also no problem with the Tuatha and the elven lands beyond the sea.No impression of Old Bloods:Well it sometimes happens that some other guy adds something to the setting someone else did not intend. Like the Tuatha. I still don´t see how "no one knows that there are people coming from beyond the sea" is euphemistic and could mean "no one besides the shay" but this confusion is probably caused by being not a native speaker.If we only use what other people intended we should stop right here, because we aren´t able to work from other contributions otherwise.I thought Old Blood is the term for the giant size Aleasani as we have no other name for the original human.Gods: Arkhandus, your gods fit in well, I just wondered what are other people´s thoughts, if we should introduce different gods with the same portfolio or not. Could be important that we are all on the same boat in the matter of different pantheons with identical portfolios. As far as we got there now, the gods section is pretty good.</blockquote>
